Life in Another World With Narration

94 – Trash Warrior

“The warrior… is dead?”

I swallowed dryly as I looked at something that was once a fallen warrior in front of Bloodstain.

Could it be because I swung my sword and destroyed the warrior’s holy sword?

But if I hadn’t done that, Milaea would have been stabbed in the back by the warrior.

“Yunoa, what happened? How are you still alive?”

In the midst of this, Milaea murmured, touching my face.

No, I never died in the first place….

Well, I fell into that hole and made it all the way to the Demon Castle, so even if I had died, there wouldn’t be much to say.

“We’ll talk about it later. Milaea, I came to save you. Let’s first think of a way to get out of here.”

“Yes.”

Milaea listened to my words, holding her sword and standing in front of the demons.

“When Milaea saw Yunoa, nothing else entered her eyes.

She felt something hot filling the empty void in her heart.

She firmly resolved not to lose the one person she had relied on in her heart. “

After hearing the narration, I suddenly felt sorry for Milaea for some reason.

Was I really someone who held such a significant place in her heart?

I had no awareness of it at all.

If she had thought of me as important to this extent, I should have been the first to inform her when I returned from the Demon World.

If I had done that, maybe she wouldn’t have come here to do something reckless and foolish without knowing the reason.

“What are you all doing there! Are you really going to fight against those things!”

At that moment, Marie, who was behind us, stepped forward with her sword and pointed at Milaea, shouting.

Honestly, I didn’t want to fight for my life here either.

But what on earth is this terrain…?

Mileia said she created this battlefield herself.

She said she chose the place where she would die fighting against monsters.

Maybe she chose this treacherous terrain.

Furthermore, the monsters that Bloodstain brought with him seemed much stronger than the ones we had seen in the Horn Gorge before.

Among the countless skeletal knights, there were several of those giant monsters, like Behemoth, who had turned the expedition into a massacre singlehandedly.

But most of all, Bloodstain was the most burdensome.

Unless that giant demon, who fought Mileia one-on-one with weapons, was at the forefront, it seemed impossible to ignore them and break through head-on to create an escape route.

I never thought I would jump into such a dangerous situation.

And on top of that, the hero is dead.

Wait, so what happens now?

Without a hero, there is no way to oppose the Demon King.

Because it was believed that the Demon King could never be killed unless by a hero.

Could it be that humanity is now doomed?

If that happens, it feels like I’ve led humanity to its destruction.

Did the sword I sent to save Mileia cause a butterfly effect that leads to the annihilation of humanity in this world?

No way…

Let’s think about that later and first figure out a way to get out of this situation.

“Mariel, since you’re a magician, can’t you fight?”

“You! Didn’t I tell you it was a search for a missing person? I didn’t expect you to get caught up in such a dangerous fight!”

“There’s no way out, so what can I do?”

“Ugh… You! This incident is separate! I’ll charge an additional magic storage device for you later!”

Mariel raised her staff and began reciting an incantation.

Still, with Mariel’s skills, she might be more helpful than any mediocre wizard adventurer.

“Sylphy! Go as far back as possible and support us!”

“Alright, yes!”

Following my instructions, Sylphy jumped back as far as she could.

Her ability to handle magic weakened when enemies got too close.

If there’s someone aiming for Sylphy right away, it would be best to prioritize dealing with them.

“Now then…”

Bloodstain glared at us, exhaling through his nose.

He looked really unpleasant to fight against.

Milaea, who fought against such monsters without a care, suddenly felt incredibly impressive.

“I’ll take care of Bloodstain. Yunoa, don’t push yourself too hard.”

Milaea took a step forward and spoke to me.

Her long, flowing black hair looked beautiful from behind.

When she became our ally, she became the most reliable woman in the world.

As she said, I left Bloodstain to Milaea and prepared to face the rest of the demons.

They didn’t seem like demons that an ordinary silver-ranked adventurer could handle, but I’m not the same as before.

I filled the Dragoknight Sword with magic and visualized various scenarios in my mind as the demons attacked.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, Mireia charged at Bloodstain like the wind, and the fight resumed.

Crack!

Mireia and Bloodstain clashed their weapons, causing shockwaves to ripple around them.

It was a familiar sight that I had seen before.

Last time, the ground crumbled, and I couldn’t see what happened afterwards. But this time, it was different.

I wondered how effective the magic I had accumulated would be against these powerful demons.

A few skeletal knights tried to approach Mireia, but I quickly leaped forward and cut them down.

The Dragoknight Sword easily shattered the bones of the knights.

After defeating them, I released the magic stored in the sword, causing the surrounding demons to be swept away by the sword energy.

While dealing with a few skeletal knights, Behemoth, with its massive size, swung its giant arm and approached.

However, before Behemoth could get close to me, it screamed in pain and covered its face with its hands.

It was because a magic-infused arrow shot by Sylphi from a distance had accurately pierced Behemoth’s eye.

“Watch out!”

At that moment, Marie shouted from behind.

When I turned around, Marie was vigorously gesturing and trying to convey something to me.

“Huh…?”

I was wondering what was going on when suddenly, the ground I was standing on began to sink.

Sensing something ominous, I quickly moved away, and flames and lava erupted from the raised ground, turning the surroundings into a scorched field.

I couldn’t help but think that if I had been just a little late, I would have been caught up in that mess. It sent a chill down my spine.

“Mariel! At least try to distinguish between friend and foe!”

“Ugh! I’ve never been good at fighting stuff like this!”

She said that, but Mariel’s magic was incredibly effective.

The flames and lava that rose from the ground covered the surrounding skeleton knights and Behemoth extensively.

Although I almost got caught up in it too, the number of monsters noticeably decreased thanks to her magic.

Even Bloodstain, who was fighting Mileia, was affected by that magic.

His back was on fire.

Mileia took advantage of that and relentlessly attacked Bloodstain.

With her strength, she pushed away his massive axe and plunged into his embrace, delivering a fatal blow.

Mileia’s powerful strike, which maximized efficiency through pure magical power and overwhelming combat experience, left a deep wound on one of Bloodstain’s arms, causing blood to spurt out.

I blocked the monsters trying to approach Sylphi and Mariel.

Mariel continued to cast powerful area magic where the monsters were gathering.

Sylphi aimed for Behemoth’s weak spot with arrows that had an astonishing accuracy and penetrating power.

The situation seemed to be turning in our favor at first glance.

With Mileia pushing back Bloodstain, we might not even need to retreat and could possibly win the fight.

But just as we were pushing the enemies back with all our might.

Bloodstain swung his axe heavily at Mileia.

Crack! Crack!

The axe, radiating intense red magical power as if it were burning, shattered the protective barrier that had been shielding Mileia’s body in a single blow.

And with a tremendous noise, Milaea’s body was thrown back.

Although she had defended with her sword, this was a different kind of brute force.

“Ugh….”

Milaea planted her sword in the ground and supported herself, letting out a small groan.

The title of being a subordinate of the Demon King and the Lord of Blood was not just for show.

“It’s dangerous!”

I stepped back, shouting with a foreboding feeling.

Bloodstain was preparing to leap again.

Crack!

Just like when he defeated the heroes, Bloodstain’s body soared to an astonishing height.

His target was… the rear where Mariel and Sylphi were.

Everyone here, including me, looked up at Bloodstain floating in the air and understood his intentions.

“Wow wow wow! You! Help us! This is-!”

Mariel’s face was filled with panic as she frantically moved her feet.

Sylphi’s face also paled as she watched the shadow cast by Bloodstain.

Almost simultaneously, Milaea and I thrust ourselves forward towards where Mariel and Sylphi were.

If that crazy bastard lands over there, it’s over.

Mariel and Sylphi, who lacked the skills of a hero, would be brutally killed.

Bloodstain’s body began to descend towards Mariel and Sylphi.

He was even brandishing an axe that emitted the same red magic that had blown away Milaea earlier.

Mireia arrived in front of Mariel and Sylphy before me and took a defensive stance to block the axe.

I also arrived shortly after and the four of us gathered in one place, but I had a bad feeling about it.

This attack cannot be blocked.

In this state, there was a grim intuition that all four of us could be swept away and killed.

“Yunoa’s intuition was correct. This strike, containing all of Bloodstain’s power, cannot be blocked by human strength.”

“What…?”

Damn it, the narration proved my ominous premonition to be true.

But it was already too late to avoid it.

Mireia had firmly planted both feet on the ground and assumed a defensive stance.

There was nothing else I could do except take a defensive stance like her.

Gooooo–

Disaster approached from the sky.

Is that… one of the Demon King’s subordinates?

Did we really try to fight against something like that?

This time, we might actually die.

With that thought, I also raised my Dragonite sword and assumed a defensive stance.

Unconsciously, I tightly closed my eyes due to the overwhelming pressure.

Like that, Bloodstain’s body crashed down on us like a meteor–

“… “

Huh?

There was no sound at all.

Bloodstain’s bulky body had crashed towards us.

When I opened my eyes, the surroundings had turned into a blue space.

And in front of my eyes, a small dimensional rift opened with a creaking sound.
